Just after installing the Kubuntu Jaunty 9.04 Linux, its time to restore some of my stuff. Firstly, I need communications and this is via my Thunderbird.
Backup:
I found it necessary to disable some of the extensions to allow the new Thunderbird to run properly.
Copy the Thunderbird directory profile (usually it goes with some crazy name followed by your profile name to the backup device. Example
cp ~/.mozilla-thunderbird/izwvasdx.default /media/backupdisk
Restore:
Step 1:
Copy the directory profile back to the new system
Step 2:
In the terminal create an email profile that uses the old directory, type
thunderbird -profilemanager

Thanks! Mozilla really needs an export tool along with their import tool.
